Summary

As an individual who is highly motivated and driven, I possess a postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, which has equipped me with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in any job. After dedicating the past eight years to raising my three children, I am eager to re-enter the workforce and apply my life experiences and skills to a new role. My time as a stay-at-home mom has provided me with invaluable skills in multitasking, problem-solving, and communication, which I believe will be an asset to any organization. Furthermore, my background in owning and running a business, as well as teaching and coaching children and adults, has equipped me with the ability to work well under pressure and to lead and motivate others. I am excited to bring my diverse skill set to a new role and make a positive impact in the workplace.
